I have also heard about the benefits of soy for women, although, I have heard that men should not consume too much soy. Who knows... they come out with new reports all the time. Don't drink coffee! Drink coffee! Don't eat eggs! Eat eggs! Everything in moderation I guess. </p> <p>Sea Urchin is delicious though! It can be an acquired taste, but you should try it! It literally tastes like the ocean.</p> <p>ryan :) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/sea-urchin-roe-uni#post-3835 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 16:31:46 +0000 unchienne 3835@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I'm not aware of any health benefits to the roe. Some roe have decent amounts of vitamins and good fats, but there's nothing specifically in roe that can't be found in other meats or vegetables. More than likely, your friend's advice stems from the fact that roe is part of the urchin's reproductive system. A lot of cultures attribute healing properties of animals to corresponding body parts and systems in humans. For example, claiming bull penis will increase your sex life, consuming meat from large predators will give you strength, or drinking turtles blood will grant longevity.</p> <p>There have, however, been talks about tofu helping with menopause because of the presence of plant-derived estrogen. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/sea-urchin-roe-uni#post-3799 Sun, 26 Sep 2010 21:38:01 +0000 sorini 3799@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>recently a friend recommend me to try sea urchin roe .
